I was very happy to find out that I did not pay attention to the syllabus last week. I didn't see that Chapter 5 was divided in two parts, so I read the whole Chapter for the previous class;)))))
So, I going to talk about blogs. I've heard about blogs, but I've never used them before CALL class. I think that blogs are valuable in creating and editing any number of personal or classroom learning materials. Blogs can easily be used as a collaborative environment to express themselves and receive feedback from peers and the teacher. They also enable teachers to verify posting dates and access student work. In addition, blogs promote analytical and critical thinking and encourage students to be more aware of the style and content of their writing. I guess, understanding that others are going to read and comment on blogs also increase their motivation.

I think so, too. When students know that they have an audience, it gives them one more reason to write. I do think they may also be negative because it could create some sort of anxiety.
